About Placencia, Belize
Placencia is a laid-back beach destination on the southern Caribbean coast of Belize. Located at the tip of the Placencia Peninsula, it boasts palm-lined beaches, a vibrant lagoon teeming with manatees, dolphins, and wildlife, and close proximity to the Belize Barrier Reef, ideal for world-class snorkeling and diving.

This culturally rich area is also home to Seine Bight, a Garífuna village known for its traditional drumming, dance, and warm hospitality.

Placencia offers the best of both worlds—adventurous inland activities like zip-lining, hiking, cave tubing, exploring Mayan ruins, and visiting waterfalls, as well as sea-based excursions such as island hopping, sailing, and fishing. It’s a quieter, more relaxed alternative to the busier San Pedro, Ambergris Caye.

Getting Here
All international flights arrive at Belize City Airport (BZE). From there, our full-time concierge can assist in arranging your transfer to the villa. You can choose from:

• Domestic flight to Placencia
• Private shuttle service
• Rental car for more flexibility
Prepare your arrival time between3-7pm. Late arrival needs to be approved in advance.
No Sargassum Guarantee!
If you're traveling between May and October, you may have heard about the seasonal sargassum seaweed affecting Caribbean beaches from Cancun to Belize. The good news? Ophelia’s Villa is lagoonfront, so you won’t see, smell, or swim near any sargassum during your stay. Enjoy clean, calm waters with no seaweed worries.

Important Things to Know Before Booking

Noise Expectations
This is a home for relaxing and reconnecting with nature—not a party house. Voices carry across the lagoon, so we ask for quiet outdoor volumes and no amplified music after 8 p.m. Please respect our neighbors and enjoy the sounds of the breeze, birds, and jumping fish.

Environmental Sensors
To ensure a safe and healthy space, we use discreet camera-free environmental monitors (no sound or image recording). They track humidity, temperature, smoke, and noise levels. We’ll only notify you if thresholds are exceeded.

Conservation & Local Systems

A/C Use: Please turn off units when not home. Belize has limited power infrastructure, and energy conservation helps prevent outages.

Septic System: Only flush natural waste—no toilet tissue. Covered waste bins are provided and picked up twice a week.

    My friends and I (4 middle aged women) took a Birthday Trip to Belize (first time) and we loved Ophelia's Villa. So many good things to say, but here are the standouts:- Beautiful space with the comforts of home (well equipped kitchen, comfy beds, lots of spaces for playing games/relaxing/gathering) and vacation (great pool, outdoor areas, ample towels, kayaks & bikes)- Luti (the caretaker) and Ida (the cook/cleaner) were both wonderful. Ms Ida cooked us a meal and it was delicious!- Quiet neighborhood. Tips for other stuff:- The card/discount provided for Inky's was helpful and they will come pick you up!- The beach at Azure del Mar (just a bit north) is accessible and they even let us borrow their kayaks!- The bakery nearby (Bake Me Up) was yummy - their bread was excellent. - The store nearby had slim pickings, but we were able to supplement the groceries that Ophelia's provided (we paid for the welcome groceries).

    Beautiful house and was exactly as described and pictured. We really enjoyed all of the recommendations made by Heather as we utilized a photographer and two of the excursions, all of which were fantastic. We did go during off season so many of the extras were closed but Heather went out her way to find alternatives.

    A lot of care has clearly been taken to make this property as good as it could possibly be. It is genuinely like staying in a property that the owners use themselves (which I believe they do). We loved it. Home from home. Fabulous view. No awful seaweed (including no smell). Everything is fresh and new. Lovely airy high ceilings throughout. Air-con works as it should and ceiling fans as well. Games around pool, kayaks, lots of big comfy outdoor furniture, pool towels, bikes, floatation vests etc. They’re even kind enough to allow use of fishing gear. Also, having stayed at 4 other places on our trip around Belize, we thought the pricing was excellent for the quality. Does need a hire car as not in the thick of it. Communications were great too. Would not hesitate in recommending this place.

    Ophelia’s Villa was AMAZING! The house is absolutely beautiful. My kids especially loved the bunk beds and pool. We all enjoyed the outdoor games and luxurious space. The landscaping and hummingbirds were wonderful to take in.You will need a car or golf cart to get to placencia village. We only went to the village 2 days because we found plenty to do around Maya Beach. There is a convenience store within biking distance to the house with all of the essentials. We really loved the food at Maya Beach Bistro and the pool at Ceiba Resort. Luti, the groundskeeper was so nice and helpful, along with the pool guy. It was a magical trip. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

    Our time at Ophelia’s Villa was absolutely amazing. From the onset, Luti and Ms Ida were wonderful and attentive. Heather is an excellent host who responds quickly and offers so much help! We booked all our excursions through Capt Jaks who took awesome care of us! Definitely recommend Pablo!!!You couldn’t ask for more out of a vacation home. The house has everything and I was so pleased to find out it looks just like the pictures!!! The views of the mountains over the lagoon are breathtaking. The villa is pretty centrally located and an easy golf cart ride to anywhere around Placencia. Also, a huge bonus was being on the lagoon side we didn’t have any of the seaweed!!!!I would highly recommend Ophelia’s Villa to anyone I know going to Belize!

    We had a great stay! House was very clean. Excellent communication with Heather and Luti. We stayed on the ocean side for the first half of our stay, and it was nice to stay on the Lagoon side the second half and enjoy the Mountain views. Very quiet with no road noise. Lots of fun touches that families would enjoy, pool, kayaks, bikes, big Jenga…We biked to the bakery close by for great cinnamon rolls and blueberry muffins. Took a 3 hour ATV ride through the jungle that my kids ages 14-25 thoroughly enjoyed. Enjoyed a day sail to MoHo for snorkeling with Blue Water Sailing, and they were a great crew which provided a great day. Many great new memories, thanks for sharing your beautiful home!

    This home was absolutely amazing. The location was perfect. The pool was very refreshing. All the beds were very comfortable. I don't have one bad thing to say about our stay. We hired Ida to cook a breakfast and dinner for us and it was wonderful. We cooked alot of our meals at the house and all the basic cooking needs were provided.
